Rumble--
In the distance, a massive, dark Myriad Beast Soldiers charged toward Han Xiao, rolling in like ocean waves, causing the ground to tremble violently. Their specially designed armor gleamed with a chilling light.
Tamaria raised her hand and threw out a dark gold mechanical axe. The axe blade, wrapped in intense blood-red flames, spun rapidly, like a red ring of fire, heading straight for Han Xiao's head.
A blast of wind, so strong it took your breath away, hit you in the face, as if a gale had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
call--
Han Xiao stomped his feet, creating a dense network of spiderweb-like cracks beneath his feet. Blue flames sprayed across the ground like spreading ripples, propelling him into the sky and avoiding the trajectory of the flying axe.
The flying mechanical axe suddenly changed course, soaring straight into the sky and chasing after Han Xiao's figure.
From his vantage point, Han Xiao saw an alloy chain extending from the end of the axe handle, continuously lengthening, with the other end connected to Tamaria's mecha arm, clearly allowing for remote control.
The floating defender array behind Han Xiao quickly wove a Psionic Energy shield to meet the mechanical axe that flew in front of him in the blink of an eye, and the two clashed heavily!
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere!
The mechanical axe wreathed in crimson flames was deflected by the unyielding shield, and the chains rapidly shortened, instantly returning to Tamaria's hand.
This attack opened the prelude to the battle!
Phillip sounded the alarm, Han Xiao looked down to see that the surface defense artillery emplacements in this area of the satellite fortress had all raised their cannons and were firing fiercely at him!
Thump thump thump--
Large-caliber cannons spewed thick smoke, and a barrage of miniature thermonuclear bombs unleashed a metal frenzy. Blue and green plasma cannons followed closely behind, while laser turrets in the distance fired beams of high-energy particle rays. All sorts of artillery fire swept across the battlefield!
Han Xiao was facing not only five Calamity Grade, but also the defensive measures of this satellite fortress!
With the Psionic Energy thrusters running at full power, Han Xiao transformed into a streak of dark blue lightning, tracing dazzling flight paths in mid-air to dodge the relentless barrage of fire.
Rumble--
He left behind a series of violent explosions, the high-temperature shockwaves causing the temperature outside the mech to rise rapidly.
The sky was quickly enveloped by mushroom clouds, filled with the thunder and lightning of plasma cannons, as if a rapidly expanding thunderstorm cloud had appeared above the satellite fortress!
The particle cannon pierced through the dark clouds, seemingly bursting forth with countless rays of light.
If one ignores the dangers involved, the scene is like a thousand rays of light breaking through layers of clouds, truly magnificent!
His vision was filled with black smoke, and his armor value slowly decreased under the aftershocks of the explosion. Han Xiao remained calm, activated the barracks crate, and released the Mechanical Force bonus under the coverage of the [Mechanical Force Field].
His power possesses a new [Void] attribute, allowing him to conduct energy at zero distance through the Void Dimension.
This means that within a certain range, the Mechanical Force enhancement is no longer spatially restricted and can be directly applied to machinery without any loss along the way, greatly reducing the consumption of Mechanical Force enhancement and improving the efficiency of energy transmission.
Kerala--
Suddenly, a dense, mechanical hum filled the dark clouds, momentarily drowning out the sound of the explosion. It was like the war drums of a 1.2 million-strong mechanical army marching into battle, a sound that shook the very soul!
"Legion strike order received, coverage area confirmed..." Phillip's adorable boyish voice rang out from inside the mech helmet.
The next moment, millions of profound Psionic Energy cannons fell simultaneously, like a thousand trees blooming in the east wind at night, and stars falling like rain!
Boom boom boom boom--
The fortress ground in this area was instantly plowed through. In the Psionic Energy Expansion orb, the metal surface deformed and shattered, armor parts flew everywhere, and countless craters were blasted out, leaving the area in ruins.
Forty percent of the artillery defenses in this area were destroyed by this round of airstrikes!
The satellite fortress was completely crushed by Han Xiao's legion. A massive, dark mechanical army descended, wreaking havoc on the surface, dismantling the satellite fortress's turrets, and fighting against the army of Myriad Beast Soldiers.
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
Suddenly, the tactical built-in screen alerted him to a high-energy reaction above. Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he quickly dodged to the side.
Call!
Tamaria's axe grazed past him, creating a powerful gust of wind.
Martial artists are highly mobile. When one attack misses, Tamaria twists in mid-air and unleashes a series of slashes. The axe blade leaves a blood-red afterimage as the attack comes in a fierce storm, one wave after another.
The immense force caused the mechanical axe to explode with a deafening airburst.
Han Xiao conjured two shimmering Psionic Energy shields with both hands and charged forward, sending up bursts of light that echoed like thunderous clangs.
Brush!
A torrent of silver-black nanoparticles surged from the pipes on the back of the Mountain Ape Mech, transforming into four Shapeshifter with only upper bodies, hovering behind Han Xiao. Eight Psionic Energy shock cannons simultaneously aimed at Tamaria, who was fighting Han Xiao, and spewed out brilliant blue light!
Bang!
The first volley from the four Shapeshifter failed to shake Tamaria's resolve to engage in close combat. She channeled her energy to form a shield of flame on the axe's surface and blocked the attack!
Bang!
Tamaria remained unmoved by the second volley; the force of the attack left her no room to dodge.
As Tamaria attempted to parry the third volley as before, she suddenly felt an even stronger force blasting through her arm and striking her internal organs.
[Legendary Combat Technique] Triggered!
The sound of the explosion was a whole new level!
Bang!!
Tamaria's expression changed, and she let out a muffled groan as she was involuntarily pushed back.
"Such strong penetrating power!"
Tamaria suppressed her surging, boiling blood and qi, her face filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Han Xiao created some distance, glanced at the battle information, and a look of certainty appeared in his eyes.
The 35% true damage from the eight Psionic Energy shock cannons reached over 12,000 points. Apart from the basic Mechanical Force bonus, he had no other skills and relied entirely on the power of a normal attack. The extra damage from the [Legendary Combat Technique] alone was higher than the normal damage after three attacks were reduced by resistance!
"The template expertise is truly terrifying!" Han Xiao exclaimed inwardly.
Martial artists are known for being tanky, which is precisely what makes them vulnerable to this specialization.
Tamaria is probably a level 230 martial artist, with a fighting style that focuses on direct confrontation. Her stamina attribute is estimated to be around 1600 points. She is at least an elite template, with various martial artist training feats that provide bonuses to her physical abilities. Her health is at least 300,000.
Tamaria's health is more than half again as high as Han Xiao's, but the two tanks are different. Han Xiao relies on Health and Mana Conversion, with a maximum of 28% recovery per second. This recovery ability is enough to make a true tank martial artist question his life.
"This specialty is even more effective in actual combat than I imagined, as long as my mechanical legions can maintain their accuracy..."
These calculations in his mind took less than a second, and the other four Cataclysmic -Calamity Grade followed up, launching their own attacks!
Han Xiao hurriedly dodged all ranged attacks, but suddenly sensed an attack coming from behind.
One of his opponents was also a martial artist, specializing in agile attacks that target vital points. He approached Han Xiao from behind like a meteor, his alloy rapier carrying a sharp penetrating force, aiming to stab at Han Xiao's cerebellum, trying to impair his mobility.
Without turning his head, Han Xiao disintegrated the four Shapeshifter, which then transformed back into nanoparticles and reassembled into a mechanical hand about seven or eight meters in size. The fingers and palm were covered with Psionic Energy shield, which grabbed the martial artist who had launched the sneak attack.
Bang!
The mechanical arm flung him thousands of meters away like trash, and he crashed headfirst into the ground!
Having experienced the power of his new specialty, Han Xiao stopped personally fighting against Tamaria and the other five. He gave an order, and the mechanical legion that was dismantling the satellite fortress immediately dispatched half of its forces to besiege the five Calamity Grade.
He himself stood by, occasionally intervening to interrupt the enemy's attacks and harass them.
"You think you can stop us with this junk?!"
Tamaria's roar echoed, her aura surging and piercing the sky.
Meanwhile, outside the protective shield of the jump base station, Morred and two other elite fleets of the Section Zero were engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy's defense forces.
They had initially gained the upper hand, driving the enemy fleet into a retreat, but other strongholds received support requests from the base station. Some of their forces broke free from the Section Zero's restraining forces and opened a fast track to provide support.
The situation was at a point where the battle was extremely fierce and evenly matched.
"Only Black Star managed to reach one of the satellite fortresses. How is he doing now?"
In the flagship's main control room, Morred was observing Han Xiao's position through the beyond-line-of-sight module, his view shrouded in the thick fog of the thermonuclear bomb.
Section Zero dispatched several elite squads to attempt to breach the protective shields of the nine satellite fortresses. However, all the others were forced to retreat, with only Black Star successfully boarding one of the satellite fortresses.
Morred's palms were sweating. Their entire fleet was now blocked by the protective shield. Whether they could destroy the base station as soon as possible depended on whether Black Star could quickly break through the satellite fortress.
The hope of the whole village!
"Sir, we have observed that Black Star is engaged in combat with the satellite fortress's defenses. The enemy has deployed five Calamity Grade fighters to intercept it, and it seems they have managed to hold Black Star back."
"This is bad." Morred's heart tightened.
At this critical juncture, if Black Star is bogged down, the situation will become a stalemate, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.
Gritting his teeth, Morred decisively gave the order.
"Notify the other two fleets to assemble all Calamity Grade squadrons and immediately rush to Black Star's aid. He's entangled with the enemy and needs help!"
